How to use it
Moment
The instant is entered in seconds and fractions. Landing mid-scene usually gives a sharper cover than the first frame.
Image format
PNG preserves detail in text and graphics; JPG produces a smaller file for photos.
Resolution
The image comes out at the video's original resolution, so it works as a high-quality cover.
Examples in practice
Video cover
The frame at 12.5 s is saved as PNG and becomes the video's own cover on the platform.
Image for a slide
A chart shown in the video is frozen and saved as PNG for a presentation.
Frequently asked questions
Does the image come out blurry?
It comes out at the video's resolution; if the video is low resolution, so is the image.
Can I extract several frames?
Yes, by repeating the operation at different instants, or using the extract frames tool for a sequence.
